“I expect Donaldven to learn from this and to have success at Virginia Tech,” Beamer said in the released statement.

With Manning staying behind for this weekend’s trip to BC (2-8 overall, 1-5 ACC), Tech will go with sophomore walk-on Carl Jackson as the backup to starting cornerback Kyle Fuller. Manning has played in seven games this season, logging four tackles and one interception.

Among the defensive backs, Fuller is the only scholarship player on the two-deep for Tech (4-6, 2-4) that played the same position last year he’s playing this year. He sat out the first two days of practice this week while recovering from an injury, according to Gray.
